Steve is starting to build the track today! Who's all lookin to play in the dirt in Akron Ohio?

I know a few oval racers will be making the transition. I think Frank Peachock and I (maybe Joel Biro) will be running 10th Truck. I think Mike Pavlick and Jeff will be bringing their 8th buggies.

1/10th truck should be an open class if you want to have a good turn out.
any motor / any battery. check out the Pro series rules for 1/10th nito truck and Monster truck. They are running the gas and electric together in these two classes.

Hey Mike,

Any idea of a start time? Tracks opens at "X" racing at "Y" that type of thing. Also entry fees? First class second class?

Doug is right Open electric classes work really well in off-road.

Oh, one last thing....does the timing system accept personal transponders?

well I take a stab at it, Im pretty sure sunday will be the day.
start time and fees will be decided by the owner steve (the general)
IM sure electric will be decided on what MEDINA is doing because we want to work with all the tracks maybe get together and have a ohio battle
MEDINA-CLASSIC-BUMPS AND JUMPS- NOW THAT WOULD BE COOOL!!!

AND YES Chris the AMB does accept personals
thanks guys keep it coming Im sure we can get all the details together
soon

You can race in the Pro Series race at Medina. They have changed the rules to allow 1/10 brushless trucks to run with the 1/10th nitro and the same in Monster Truck. Now if they would ony do the same for 1/8th truggy and buggy.

NickRummy
04-22-2008, 02:30 PM
Would it still be considered a 1/10th scale MT? Has a 2 speed in it but I stretched the chassis 1 3/4" or so. Made it for a track basher.

badassrevo

What will the practice fee be? Per truck or just one fee for the day? What time does practice start?

Mike Pavlick
04-23-2008, 03:15 PM
What will the practice fee be? Per truck or just one fee for the day? What time does practice start?

I would have to say the pitting would be outside dont need all the dirt indoors that would be the smartest.
practice fee will be per day as of sunday.
Im going to get there pretty early probably around 8:00am
go over track and things of that nature
we will get all the exact details tonight when I see steve
